Happy Tuesday, y'all.

I will not let Jessifer screw up the Pulp Fiction thread, no matter how hard she tries.

I might be coming in for lunch with the baseball desk downstairs, and if I do I'll check in if I get a chance. If not, talk to y'all at 4.

Y'all! The jag has not written me back. Mean, mean little dameetray. Merr.

Morning!

Bad little dameetray. He only has a few hours left.

Hannah, you MUST get yourself to Napster and download The Right Combination, featuring Seiko Matsuda and Donnie Wahlberg. Please. For the love of NKOTB.

-- Anonymous, January 30, 2001

I can't do it through work. What's your napster name? I can do it tonight.

Yeah, he has until 1 p.m. EST until he's the hugest King of Jags ever. Man. See, that's what I get for listening to Eric "some authority I am" Petersen.

Herro, I'm here.

One, I'm all about a Lin Chao column. That would kick ass.

Two, I slept like a rock last night. A rock, y'all. Waking up was very difficult.

La la la, did y'all have good nights? I'm all garlicky right now. I broke out the crock pot, y'all.

I am listening to Dolly Parton through the speakers of my iBook that I brought in, sneakily, to work on HYD during lunch. Napolean is out until this afternoon, so maybe I can do it.

I have my old archives still. They're boring, but I can dig up a link for you.

Oh yes. I'd love to read them.

-- Anonymous, January 30, 2001

I'd like to read them too.

Also, Al, Vince wants y'all to have a music date. He said he could set up the microphones and everything. Yahoo! That sounds fun. I won't even try to hog the mike.

You no send song! Why?

I can't figure out how to download ringtones for my SPrint PCS Nokia. I wonder if the email workes, though. I'm pretty sure I subscribe to it. 4049318374@messaging.sprintpcs.com

I would like to read Al's archives, also.

Ooooo! I forget to send song because of stupid hateyourdaddy! I work on those three pages for mirrion years! It take forevah! But now, I know how to do!

Mayn, I would love a music date with the Chaos. We'll definitely do it when JoAnn leaves. I think I have one song here...let me see...

And, I'll figure out the archives thing. Y'all can read them, but I was being really Secret Agent Man about my personal life, so there's not too much personal stuff. There are some funny ones about my friend Kristen's wedding, though.

If you find any, let me know. I'm feeling very uninspired, probably because I was here until 2 last night and had to be back at 11:30 for this meeting. Now I'm out for another couple of hours, then back at 4.

Y'all, I just thought of something. The only reason I got nominated for that thing is because I wrote it on pamie's site. What pisses me off is that the MATH Collaboration Guest Entry for Journey of a Girl was much better!

You know they can't nominate pamie for much anymore because she wins everything every time, so they had to sort of nominate her from the side. And it's just because she's Miss Online Journal of America or whatever. Hmph.

-- Anonymous, January 30, 2001

I did nominate the MATH entry for collaborative, but I'm thinking it wouldn't have counted since I was part of the guest entry. Hannah, I also nominated one of your entries for an award, although I forget which one.

Oh, I own a coffeemaker. And it gets used. I even have one of those Brookstone gadgets that measures out the amound of scoops you need for strong, weak and medium coffee. (Not a wise purchase.

But when you've really got to stay awake, it's all Starbucks. That's strong stuff.
